Note: This seemed more like a post about writing than a post about psychotherapy, (although those identities are increasingly tangled up for me) so I posted it at Subtext Consultations. Here are the first few paragraphs and a link to read the rest:

**********************************

How do I write about writing without talking about what I am writing about?

I don’t mean to be cryptic, I don’t mean to build suspense or be tantalizing – because the final product, if there ever is one, will a long way off.

So don’t hold your breath.

So there isn’t any point in my being coy – but I do need to find ways to skirt around the subject of my writing in order to talk about the process, and to acknowledge the incredible gift that has been given to me in the form of a two week stay at an extraordinary residential library in Hawarden, Wales: The Gladstone Library.
